2.4.5. Binding: Elaborate format and binding are neither necessary nor desirable. All binders will be capable of lying flat when opened. Three ring binders are preferred. The cover and spine of each binder will clearly identify the offeror’s name, Project number, RFP number, RFP title and copy number, (e.g. copy 2 of 3). The original for each volume will be clearly identified on the cover and the spine. All binders will allow for easy removal and replacement of pages.

2.4.6. Indexing: Each binder will contain a “Table of Contents” for that volume. The “Table of Contents” will identify major areas, paragraphs and subparagraphs by number and title, as well as by page number and volume locations. Tab indexing will be used to identify Sections as appropriate.

2.5.2.1.1. Government acknowledges that the technical proposal will involve discussion of some of the same projects/contracts discussed in the Past Performance volume. While Past Performance examines how an offeror performed in the past, so as to determine the probability of success on future projects, this subfactor examines the offeror’s experience with complex multidiscipline project management and execution and how the offeror demonstrates an understanding of the contract’s requirements taking this experience into consideration. The Government intends to use Exhibit A Part 1 information in the evaluation of experience for Subfactor 1. A reiteration of the information provided in Exhibit A is neither required nor desired. Offeror should reference this information by providing a short summation of their relevant experience to meet the submission requirements of this subfactor.

2.5.2.2. Subfactor 1: Experience and Capability. Demonstrate offeror’s technical experience and capability to perform a project of this magnitude and complexity. Discuss and provide experience of key construction personnel including, but not limited to, Project Manager, Site Superintendent(s), Quality Control Manager (on site), and Site Safety Manager.

Discuss any previous projects that are similar to this project in terms of scope, size and complexity. Specifically discuss vertical construction experience.

The onus is solely on the offeror to indicate in detail how the offeror plans to overcome this lack of experience.

2.5.2.5. Subfactor 3: Quality Control. The proposal narrative demonstrates that the quality control staff, with lines of authority, is adequate to meet the contract’s requirements. The proposed Quality Control answers should provide a detailed explanation of how quality issues are dealt with on various types of construction projects and as a minimum, meetings, inspections, submittal reviews, correction of non-compliant work and how you intend to ensure non-reoccurrence and reporting of quality problems to Government officials.

Explain what aspects of the contract you find relevant to the proposed effort and identify how each contract ranks, in terms of relevancy, with respect to the other contracts addressed in proposal.

2.5.3.6. Offerors should consider the currency and relevancy of the past/present performance information to be considered, the performance must have been completed during the past five (5) years. The period begins five (5) years prior to the solicitation release date and includes current performance. Performance that is more current may have greater impact than older performance.

2.5.3.7. In determining relevancy to the solicitation requirement, offerors should consider the similarity of construction methods employed, size, scope, cost magnitude, location, client type (e.g. federal government) and complexity of work performed to those required for the proposed effort. Location should also be considered.

2.5.3.8. Offerors are encouraged to include with their proposal information any problems encountered on the identified contracts and the offeror's correction actions.

thomas.e.tortorella.mil@mail.mil and dawn.m.whelan.mil@mail.mil and to arrive not later than the closing date for receipt of proposals. Offeror must not review the Past Performance Questionnaire prior to submission. They are to be submitted by the client/evaluator directly to the Contracting Officer. Offeror's should follow-up and encourage references to get the questionnaires to the Contracting Officer in a timely manner.

2.5.3.12. In assessing past performance, the Government may also consider the past/present performance of the offeror’s key personnel, Project Manager, Quality Control Manager and Site Superintendent, as it relates to previous projects. In the event the intended key personnel for this solicitation’s project do not have demonstrated past performance in the project(s) submitted in the Exhibit As, the Government reserves to obtain reference information additional information is required.

2.5.3.12.1. Each key person without prior past performance history demonstrated on the submitted Exhibit A shall provide a summary of experience or a resume.

SECTION 00120 PROPOSAL EVALUATIONS AND BASIS FOR AWARD

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1. This solicitation is for a Firm Fixed Price Contract. The Government intends to award a single contract to a qualified Small Business Offeror deemed responsible in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), whose proposal conforms to all the RFP's requirements and is judged to represent the Best Value to the Government in accordance with the evaluation scheme set out in this solicitation. The award will be made based on the lowest price, technically acceptable offer IAW the FAR 15.101-2. Best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable proposal with the lowest evaluated price, with appropriate consideration given to the three (3) evaluation factors: Technical, Price, and Past Performance.

1.2. To arrive at a Best Value decision this acquisition will utilize the lowest price, technically acceptable process.

1.3. The source selection process will be conducted in accordance with FAR Subpart 15.3, Source Selection procedures. Offers will be evaluated using the criteria listed in “Evaluation Factors for Award.” Noncompliance with the RFP requirements may raise serious questions regarding an offeror’s technical ability, past performance and/or pricing and may be grounds to eliminate the proposal from consideration for contract award. Failure to include all information requested may adversely affect the evaluation. A proposal that merely reiterates or promises to accomplish the requirements of the RFP will be considered unacceptable. A proposal that is orderly and sufficiently documented will be easy for the Government to understand and will enable the Government to perform a thorough and fair evaluation.

1.4. The Contracting Officer will begin the evaluation process by conducting a proposal compliance review for all timely-received proposals for determination of basic proposal adequacy prior to providing the proposals to the evaluators. Failure to provide a complete proposal may result in the proposal being removed from further consideration for award. Failure to address any factor Technical, Past Performance and Price or any technical subfactor shall be grounds for elimination from evaluation and consideration for award.

1.5. Offerors must ensure that no pricing information is displayed in Volume 2, Technical and Past Performance Proposal.

1.6. Although the assessment of Past Performance as a specific evaluation factor is separate and distinct from the Determination of Responsibility required by FAR Part 9, Past Performance information obtained herein will be used during the Government’s responsibility determination. The Government also reserves the right to obtain additional information solely for the purpose of making a responsibility determination from all offerors after receipt of proposals. Requests for responsibility information do not constitute discussions.

1.7. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer, in his/her sole discretion, later determines them to be necessary or appropriate. Further, the Government reserves the right to create or not to create a competitive range.

1.8. ENFORCEABILITY OF PROPOSAL: The proposal must set forth full, accurate and complete information as required by this solicitation. By submission of the offer, the Offeror agrees that all items proposed (if applicable e.g., key personnel, subcontractors, etc.) will be utilized for the duration of the contract and any substitutions shall require prior Contracting Officer's approval.
